Toloka AI, working with Mindrift, seeks a freelance AI Trainer specializing in physics and Python. This contract role is remote and project-based, supporting the evaluation and development of AI systems for large technology partners. The position is not permanent and is based in Queensland, Australia (remote).
What you will do
- Create original computational physics problems that reflect authentic research workflows.
- Design tasks requiring Python programming, using libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy.
- Ensure problems are computationally demanding and not solvable manually in a short period.
- Develop challenges across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics, focusing on advanced reasoning.
- Base tasks on real research questions or practical physics applications.
- Validate solutions using Python and standard simulation libraries.
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified solutions.
Requirements
- Degree in physics (theoretical, experimental, or computational) or a closely related field.
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, Stata, or similar tools is a plus.
- At least two years in applied, research, or teaching roles.
- Background in numerical simulation methods.
- Ability to design problems that mirror real physics research workflows.
- Creative approach to formulating problems across physics domains.
- Familiarity with modeling and approximation techniques in physics.
- Strong written English skills (C1 level or above).
Project structure
The process includes application, qualification, project engagement, task completion, and then compensation.
Time commitment
During active project phases, expect to dedicate around 10–20 hours per week. Actual workload may vary depending on project needs and is not guaranteed.
Compensation
Contributors may earn up to $35 per hour, depending on contribution level and task completion speed. Rates can vary by project based on complexity and required expertise. Other projects on the platform may offer different compensation structures.
